Dean David Hinks nominated Sharp for her work landing two major grant projects that dramatically further the college\u2019s mission, the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engines and USAID Hilando Oportunidades. Sharp was integral in the team that helped land an NSF Engines grant for industry partner The Industrial Commons. The engine marks a $15 million investment in the technical and circular textile economy, with the potential to unlock a total of $160 million over 10 years. Wilson College will play a major part in the research and development arm of the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMelissa would be the first to say that these grants were a team effort, but her service leadership on the team has paved the way for enabling even greater success of the Wilson College and, in fact, the U.S. textile industry as a whole. Remarkably, she achieves impactful outcomes while maintaining her commitment to her own education as a Ph.D. candidate in fiber and polymer science here at the college!\u201d Dean Hinks says. \u201cHer commitment to sustainability, collaboration and lifelong learning make her an exemplary role model for what we envision for our Wilson for Life philosophy.
